The whole demeanor of the house changed after the events of inter-dimensional cable only a few nights ago. Rick was far more irritable than he had ever been, which was saying quite a bit as the man was typically rough around the edges. Cas' personality had totally flipped as well, leaving her own abilities out of control as they often connected themselves to her emotions. It was something the entire house noticed but never said anything of. It was becoming a normal occurrence for Rick to do something and Cas to snap, causing the nearest machine to short out or the nearest metal object to to slowly fold in on itself. The family simply rolled with it like nothing changed because no one wanted to risk anything or upset the two further.
Jerry remained fairly annoyed with the whole ordeal, rightfully disgruntled about already having to replace the stove that was crushed by Cas, but he stayed out of it. Beth was mostly relieved her father turned Cas down but at the same time didn't like seeing Cas become the person she was now. Cas was always a beam of light and optimism in the house and now she rarely talked unless she was snapping at Rick. Whether Beth liked it or not, Cas was a positive influence on Rick before and now that all went down the drain.
It was only after a week that Rick began to realize that and how much he had begun to rely on Cas.
It was the little things he began to miss that he didn't think he'd miss. The pet names she'd call him that he swore he hated. Her never wavering optimism and childish attitude that he previously claimed drove him up a wall. The annoying way she'd sit on his work bench as he tinkered about in the garage. That she'd bring him dinner or other meals when he got so caught up in his work and would make sure he ate. When he fell asleep in his garage, he would be woken up by Cas with a huge, eager smile and a tray of breakfast. Her random questions that rarely had anything to do with the task at hand but he'd always answer them anyways. He became dependent on that stuff and ever since the events of the interdimensional cable, Cas was rarely seen by Rick.
Rick Sanchez began to miss the stupid little things about Cassiopeia Pines that he swore he hated and his grandson's words rang in his head.
"You think I actually care for her?"
"Yeah, actually, I do. I just don't think you've realized it yet."
His mind never left that sentence. He thought about it all the time and it began to effect to his work. The deeply buried emotional part of his brain kept asking himself what if Morty was right and he did care for Cas? While the logical part of his brain kept thinking that it was just him missing the routine of it all. That he just was missing the constants and not Cas herself. He wanted to believe that but deep, deep down he knew that wasn't the case. Because if anyone else started the same thing Cas did, he wouldn't have tolerated it as much. And yet all the genius that was packed into one man, couldn't figure out what was holding him on to Cas.
